Chapter 119 The Bracelet is Missing
Chapter 119 The Bracelet is Missing
Xiao Yun's presence in the kitchen really affected her work, so Shen Lan directly kicked him out after saying that.
Without him messing around, Shen Lan was very efficient.
After Wang Ling brought out the last dish, Shen Lan took off her apron and was about to go out when she saw Zhao Yue rushing into the kitchen.
She ran very fast, and when she passed Shen Lan, her arm hit her shoulder hard.
Shen Lan was caught off guard and cried out in pain. Before she could say anything, she heard Zhao Yue grit her teeth and say, "Sorry, I didn't mean to. I was just anxious to deal with the burnt ingredients."
Zhao Yue blinked her almond-shaped eyes, her face full of apology.
She apologized first, and Shen Lan seemed aggressive when she kept pestering her.
Shen Lan moved his arm and found that there was nothing serious, just a little pain.
Don't be fooled by Zhao Yue's thin arms and legs. When she rushed over just now, she took a running start and was like a torpedo.
"Be careful when you walk next time, or I'll charge you for medical expenses next time."
After she finished speaking, she shook her arms and left the kitchen to eat. She was starving, so who had the time to argue with her?
In the dining room, Wang Ling and Xiao Yun were about to get into a fight.
He knew that as long as Brother Yun was around, he wouldn't be able to eat what Shen Lan cooked.
He just tasted one chopstick and it was so delicious that he wanted to cry. Before he could take the second chopstick, he was caught by Xiao Yun.
The two battled wits and courage for a long time, but in the end Wang Ling was defeated and was pressed down on the chair by Xiao Yun.
"Wait until Shen Lan arrives before eating."
Wang Ling has a big appetite like a cow. If he were to eat as much as he wants, there would probably be only empty plates left when Shen Lan arrives.
"Brother Yun, you are heartless and ungrateful. You value women over friends! I'm not a glutton, how could I possibly eat it all? I will definitely leave some for Shen Lan."
Having said that, Wang Ling still put down his chopsticks obediently and waited for Shen Lan.
Xiao Yun sat next to him, his main focus being bloodline suppression: "You want Shen Lan to eat your leftovers?"
How dare Wang Ling?
He could only look at the food in front of him listlessly, his saliva flooding into the ocean.
By the time the meal actually started, Shen Lan had gained a lot of experience.
Wang Ling, who had been hungry all night and half a day, ate like a savage. If Xiao Yun hadn't been helping her pick up food, Shen Lan probably wouldn't have been able to get a piece of meat.
"Shen Lan, your cooking skills are amazing. It's so delicious." Wang Ling's mouth was full of oil. He looked around and whispered, "I think your cooking is even better than Chef Li's. If you can't continue working here with Brother Yan, you can definitely open a restaurant. I'll definitely go there every day to support you. I can't get enough of it."
"You wish." Xiao Yun pushed his big face away and said with disgust: "Eat your meal."
He finally understood why Wang Ling could talk so much with Shen Lan. It was all thanks to his sweet talk.
The three of them chatted and laughed, and when they finished eating, Zhao Yue came over with Old Madam Xiao.
The servants who had been sent away also came back, and there was constant commotion outside the living room.
"Grandma, what happened?" Xiao Yun stood up, helped the old lady sit down and asked.
Shen Lan also put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and stood up.
Wang Ling finally managed to swallow the food in his mouth, but he choked and burped.
"Eat slowly, don't be anxious." The old lady had someone pour him a glass of water, and then she said gently, "It's not a big deal, Yueyue's bracelet is lost."
Wang Ling drank some water to help himself down his food. Upon hearing this, he quickly glanced at Zhao Yue's wrist: "Is that the jade bracelet you always wear?"
Zhao Yue nodded with red eyes, looking at the old lady guiltily: "Yes, that jade bracelet was my eighteenth birthday gift from my grandmother. I cherish it very much and have been wearing it on my wrist for several years."
When Shen Lan heard this, his eyelids twitched slightly, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, she heard Zhao Yue sobbing.
"I've lost a lot of weight in the past two years, and the jade bracelet is a bit loose on my wrist. Today, while cooking in the kitchen, I took it off and put it on the table because I was afraid that the kitchen utensils would damage it. However, when I went back to look for it, I found that the bracelet was gone."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and she looked at Shen Lan helplessly: "Miss Shen, you were in the kitchen just now. Did you see my bracelet?"
Shen Lan lowered his eyes and shook his head: "Sorry, I didn't see it."
"How is that possible? There are only two of us in the kitchen. If you didn't see it, how could it have flown away for no reason?"
Zhao Yue stared at her, her eyes pleading: "Ms. Shen, this bracelet is very important to me. If you know where it is, please tell me."
Shen Lan sneered in his heart, Zhao Yue really understood the art of speaking.
I said so much just to tell everyone that she was the one who took the bracelet!
She raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Yue, with a cold glint in her eyes: "Do you suspect that I stole your bracelet?"
